Close your eyes. Imagine that, instead of being a good person reading this article at home, you are a newbie network administrator who must manage the IP addresses of thousands of devices networked on the extensive networks of a large company.
At first you use your spreadsheet…, but it’s not enough!
The tension increases and the temptation to jump out the window of the office may be too much sometimes, but thanks to the Blessed Sacrament, this text comes to mind (and to Google) where Pandora FMS blog tells you about…

Free IP Scanner
Perhaps the fastest in the wild-west scanning IP ranges, in addition to ports geared primarily for administrators and users who want to monitor their networks.
Free IP Scanner has the unique ability to scan a hundred computers per second, and it does so with ease due to its recursive process technology that greatly increases scanning speed.
It even gives you the possibility to find out the busy IP addresses within the same network and shows you the NetBIOS data of each machine.
These data, from the name to the group, including the MAC address, can be exported to a plain text file.
With Free IP Scanner you may also define scanning by IP address range, simultaneous maximum processes or ports.
All of this for free.
IP Range Scanner
Lansweeper offers us this tool for free. How much we like free stuff, huh?
If Stone City had an ad that read “Free stones”, we would be able to take a car full of stones home.
We’d do something with them!
IP Range Scanner is able to scan your network and provide all that information you are looking forward to knowing about devices connected to your network.
You may also schedule a network scan and run it when prompted.
